Earth is about 93 million miles from the Sun but only 239,000 miles from the Moon. Likewise, the Sun has a mass that is over 20

million times that of the Moon. Earth experiences a strong gravitational attraction to both of these bodies, but for two different reasons. Using what you know about the factors that influence gravity, what specific characteristic or characteristics contribute to the attraction between Earth and the Moon? What specific characteristic or characteristics contribute to the attraction between Earth and the Sun?

Answer:

Gravity is dependent on the mass of two bodies and the distance between them. There is a strong gravitational attraction between Earth and the Moon because they’re relatively close to one another. There is a strong gravitational attraction between Earth and the Sun because the Sun is so massive

Which process is the most scientifically plausible explanation for how the organisms released oxygen into Earth's atmosphere? Gr
Stels [109]

Answer:

Photosynthesis

Explanation:

Studies about the time period of oxygen accumulation suggests that free oxygen was first produced by prokaryotic and then later by eukaryotic organisms in the ocean. These organisms carried out photosynthesis more efficiently, producing oxygen as a waste product.

The organism mainly responsible for this is known as cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae. These microbes conduct photosynthesis: using sunshine, water and carbon dioxide to produce carbohydrates and, oxygen.

What is the mass moment of inertia of a 20kg sphere with a radius of 0.2m about a point on the sphere's perimeter
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

I = M R^2 is the moment of inertia about a point that is a distance R from the center of mass (uniform distributed mass).

The moment  of inertia about the center of a sphere is 2 / 5 M R^2.

By the parallel axis theorem the moment of inertia about a point on the rim of the sphere is  I = 2/5 M R^2 + M R^2 = 7/5 M R^2

I = 7/5 * 20 kg * .2^2 m = 1.12 kg m^2

A force of 3,200 kg x m/s^2 (Newton’s) acts on a truck giving it an acceleration of 2 m/s^2. What is the mass of the truck ?
Ivan

Answer:

According to newton's second law of motionF=ma Data:-F=3200kgm/sec² or N ,a=2m/sec² ,m=? solution :-F=ma here we have to find m so m=F/a ,m=3200/2=1600kg
